New York City Workers Delayed Snow Clean-Up To Protest Budget Cuts

The New York Sanitation Department intentionally slowed blizzard
clean-up in protest against budget cuts, sources tell the
NYPost.

Three plow workers said "They were told [by supervisors] to take
off routes [and] not do the plowing of some of the major arteries
in a timely manner. They were told to make the mayor pay for the
layoffs, the reductions in rank for the supervisors, shrinking
the rolls of the rank-and-file."

The workers even used tactics like keeping the snow plow above
road level to clear the road only partially.

Ridiculous? Get used to it. This is the kind of public sector
strike against austerity that has been going on all year in
Europe.
